Greenies - How to melee them effectively and cheaply

Featured Replies

Hello one and all! As you already know, this guide is about the wonderful

 

Green Dragon!

 

 

 

So, you're broke? Don't even have the money to buy lobbies? Dont wanna waste time fishing? Or maybe you're looking

 

for a way to quickly make a little money.

 

All it takes is 2k, some ok armour and a decent weapon.

 

 

 

But Before we learn what and how we kill,

 

the Table O' Contents!

So, what are we killing?

So whats so great about it?

 

Why its drops of course! It has 2 100% drops-

 

Dragon bones and Green Dragonhide!

 

Dragon bones sell for about 1800 gp ea, or give 72 pray xp when buried and 288 each when ectofungused. (252 when gilded altared)

 

Then theres the Green Dragonhides! they sell for 1600 gp ea or so

 

Plus, the item drops include

 

Adamant full helms (use as armour)

 

Half key (teeth + loop)

 

Rune dagger (sometimes often, sometimes rare. I used to average 1 a

 

trip, but havent gotten any for ages.)

 

Various uncut gems

 

Addy ore ------- Rune javelins ---------- Clue scroll level 3

 

Dragon spear ----- Nature runes --------- Rune spear

 

Rune full helm ------- Bass ------------------ Nature talismans

 

 

 

Not bad, eh?

 

 

 

The Setup

 

 

 

Here is the setup I use:

 

 

 

newgreendragoutfitgb1.png

 

 

 

You can replace d skirt and and granite plate with rune.

 

PLUS! if you have high range (60+) You can wear red dragon hide as a

 

top. This means you get hit less by their magical breath attack, plus it lowers the chance of a pker teleblocking you first time.

 

Plus you keep the legs, plate and wep when you die! :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Requirements!

 

 

 

As you'll read later, we are using really low level food, so you might want a high hp. The levels I'd reccomend are

 

55 def

 

65 attack (green drags are all def)

 

60 str

 

60 hp

 

But im a scaredy cat, you could manage with levels slightly below. But

 

remember to bring more food!

 

 

 

To kill effectively I would reccomend at LEAST

 

 

 

70 attack

 

65 defense

 

75 strength

 

65 hp

 

 

 

Heres the stats i go with:

 

 

 

75 attack

 

82 strength

 

67 defense

 

77 hp

 

 

 

And i can kill 25 in about half an hour.

 

 

 

 

 

Finally!

 

What you do!

 

 

 

First off: this is an incredibly cheap way to kill them, but it works. It only takes about 10 mins to set up and get fishing, so you can get killing whenever is good for you.

 

 

 

O.K. Here it is:

 

 

 

Buy a fly fishing rod or a normal fishing rod. Buy feathers. They cost 10 gp ea from players, even less from stores. Now, go to edgy, get your

 

gear on, get a 1 click teleport out, and head south to barbarian village. Now fish there.

 

Heres how much fish i use at 93 combat and 77 hp (67 def LOL)

 

greendraginventorycopyrt2.png

 

 

 

 

 

Now, from there, head back up to edgy. Now, there should be a small house there with a range inside. Cook your fish there. If this is your first

 

trip using this method, take a whole inventory of fish. From there you

 

can adjust to suit your needs. Then head north west through wildy to the spot.

 

 

 

Heres the route:

 

(picture coming soon- something wrong with it )

 

A Bit About Macros

 

 

 

Green dragon macros- one thing you never ever want to be confused

 

with. why? Because there are more and more people killing them for

 

kicks. So how do you not look like one? simple! wear something a macro

 

wouldn't - quest items from quests involving more than combat skills can

 

be one. Another way would to be chatty. Talk with others near you who

 

are not macros. And if you see a white dot, run up and look. say hi or :),

 

because you have nothing to fear- you have nothing to lose!

 

 

 

One example of taking it too far would be wearing a obby cape or rune

 

boots or something. If pkers spy one of those, you'll be dead before you

 

can say "wth?! only 3 items!!". Wear a holiday item that can be gotten

 

again if you want to. and if youre not afraid, 99 capes can also work.

 

I hope this helps. Just remember- if youre teleblocked, turn on pray

 

mage. I've never died yet killing green drags, and YES, I have been teleblocked many times. it works. (a little luck required).

 

 

 

Credits/F.A.Q./Other cool guides

 

 

 

All writing done by me

 

Thanks to tip.it for pic

 

Thanks to runescape.com for map pic

 

Thanks to Andrew Gower for making such a cool game

 

Thank You VERY much to ANYONE who posts, even haters :XD:

 

Thank you to anyone who corrects ANYTHING.

 

 

 

F.A.Q. (or Q's you might be wondering)

 

 

 

Why did you write this?

 

 

 

Well, I haven't seen this anywhere else, not even in Coza's "all ways

 

included" guide. I thought it was a great source of experience and money, but how much greater it would be if you could save money and not be bothered to fish up great quantities- just fishing on spot.

 

 

 

Why kill green drags in the "pit of death"?

 

 

 

Simple: it's the spot closest to a fishing spot/major city/the wilderness trench. Plus its got trees nearby to shake off an attacker. It's a great spot, and if you're careful it can be great xp.

 

 

 

Man, its so crowded!!

 

 

 

Well theres only 3 drags. World hop around a bit (though i recomend

 

hopping outside of wildy and walking there.)

 

 

 

And other tips on how not to get pked?

 

 

 

If you see someone your level who is not killing drags, and you see

 

them "eating", TELE! they're potting up. You cannot see the edge of the

 

pit, though pkers can see you- so be wary.

 

 

 

 

 

More guides related to this subject coming soon.

 

 

 

Have fun!

pretty nice guide. Zybez says gren d'hides are 1500-1650 ea, more the higher end in my opinion.
